Geez, I never got around to watching Sita, though I probably suggested it to enough people.

Nina is an excellent artist, and it broke my heart when she came out as anti-trans rights. Normally I’d have this playing in the background as I work, but I can’t bring myself to watch her videos anymore.
Paley is TERF garbage and doesn’t deserve the exposure
There are plenty of other artists doing good work; there’s no need to boost a bigot

Well that’s disappointing. I love her animation, now I’m conflicted.

Kind of ironic that an artist whose most famous work is based on Hindu mythology would turn out to be anti-trans.

One of my old favorites from Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares.

Ouch. That hurts. I adore Sita Sings the Blues …

Anyone know of a good overview or summary of how Nina fell from grace?
She wrote about it on her blog here and here. It’s pretty petty and self-serving stuff.
Ah WTF do I know, I’m just another middle-age CIS male.

If she is not transphobic, she is really bad at showing it.
